Survey and Mapping Operations

We offer a number of contextualised courses in Survey and Mapping operations using different sensors - RGB, Multi-Spectral, Hyper-Spectral and LiDAR. Held over 1 and 2 days, these courses are for RePL holders wishing to advance their careers or explore new opportunity.

Medium Category Multi-Rotor Training and Type Rating

Dronestar™ own and operate a fleet of Medium Category aircraft including the DJI AGRAS T25, T30, T40 and T50, FlyCart Series, Aerotek AGR B70, Freespace Callisto 50, Freely Alta-X  and others. We can train and type-rate you same-day  on these aircraft. We're always adding more aircraft as they become available.  Our CASA Medium Category training and type rating courses are now available nationwide and can be combined with any other course and your Remote Operator's Certificate with all CASA fees included.

Thermal Operations

Operating at night under a Remote Operators Certificate can be exciting, but also offers a completely different set of challenges. In our Night VLOS course, we'll use the latest thermal technology and exercises to prepare you for your Night ops.

Search and Rescue - Coming Soon

With significant experience in SAR during flood, fire, and multiple SAR agencies, Dronestar™ are able to offer a number of packages in Multi-Rotor, Powered Lift and Fixed Wing operations, with various sensors, in VLOS, EVLOS and BVLOS scenarios. We offer SAR Level 1, 2 and 3 which range from basic day SAR through low-light and night SAR and at SAR3, long range EVLOS and BVLOS SAR. Our courses deliver professional techniques to locate and assist in all manner of SAR scenarios both on and off-beach.

Aeronautical Radio Operator's Certificate

A critical component of your uncrewed aviation operations. For most pilots, the Radio Operators' Certificate is a must,  and always required for all operations above 400 feet and outside of standard operating conditions. Our course delivers a theory and practical component, along with scenario-based activities and the CASA AROC exam itself. We usually combine this with your Remote Pilots Licence (RePL) course but can be taken independently.

CASA BVLOS Theory

To fly Beyond Visual Line Of Sight  (BVLOS), for those without an aviation Instrument Rating (IREX), CASA have a framework in place to enable this. Although restricted to Class G (uncontrolled Airspace), attaining your CASA BVLOS rating opens up a lot of opportunity to progress your uncrewed operations. Our course was designed around the actual CASA exam itself and will comprehensively prepare you for it. We also have a 'knowledge check' which is very similar to the 'actual' exam. All available as soon as you're enrolled.
